Learning Quran with Tajweed

There is no questioning that Quran is the only holy book on earth that is completely the words of God. Allah the Almighty pledged to keep Quran safe from any distortion throughout ages.

Quran was mainly revealed to answer all man’s controversial questions about existence, the purpose of life and what is after death. It is not only a religious holy book for reciting and explaining Islamic rituals and acts of worship, but it is also a constitution of a perfect life for persons, families, and societies as well.

Why learning the Quran is essential for Muslims

The best translation of the Holy Quran can probably convey the accurate meaning of the Quranic verses, but it definitely cannot reach the amazing beauty of the Godly words. That is why learning Arabic is very important not only for a deep understanding of the Holy Quran but also to realize and enjoy the eloquent, infallible, flawless, miraculous and gorgeous Quran; the words of Allah. To feel that the unique beauty of the Holy Quran while reciting it creates a state of deep certainty that no one can ever say such miraculous words except Allah (SWT). Hence it establishes a strong connection between the Muslim’s heart and the Holy Quran; a connection between deep love and glorification.

It’s is mandatory for all Muslims to learn the Noble Quran to be able to recite verses from it in obligatory daily prayers. Reciting the Noble Quran is a kind of acts of worship which a Muslim is rewarded abundantly for doing it on a regular basis.
